Another Reflection

10pm right now, and I should be studying, but I'm not. I just finished FBing and youtube-ing. While I was on FB, I saw Jannice comment on our dance vid being up. Obviously, I wanted to watch. It's funny when I think about it. When I was watching everyone else's dances, I still thought in my head, 'our's was WAY better', but seeing ours through fresh eyes, I thought, 'wow, I'm really up myself!'. Watching us dance compared to actually doing the dance is a huge difference, something I have just realised.
While I was practicing and learning the dance and rehearsing with the music, I felt empowered and untouchable, that no one could top us and we would get perfect marks. But when I watched the video, I thought to myself, 'I felt so energetic and speedy (for lack of a better word) when I was dancing. I know I'm not there, but still.' The dance didn't have as much power and effect I thought it had. Of course, it was a good dance, just not as awesome as I thought it was. Kind of like lifting the curtain from behind my eyes. I feel a bit sad, a little let down. Not by my group, but myself, that I could have done more, made it more dynamic. I dunno. When we got the dance assessment, as terrified of it as I was, I also wanted to make if spectacular, meaningful and vivacious (excuse the fancy word, it just works really well...to me). I guess it just fell short for me. But hey, I'm no dancer, and I don't think any of us were professionally instructed in the past, so I can't complain. Just something I wanted to say before I would forget. Thanks for reading!
